Sun, 10 Aug 2014 03:05:39 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2273058#comment-3534764There is no pressure on Bridgewater to start, not from the Vikings, only apparently from the media. “The clock is ticking quickly”. What?

The guy just played his first pre-season game. If he sits all year so be it. Everyone knows he is the long term replacement, but Cassel led the team on a 70 yard scoring drive and looked great…without Peterson and only vanilla plays. Our offense wasn’t the problem last year (14th in the league with an OC who was as predictable as possible). The defense is where the clock is ticking and last night they didn’t give up a score until the last 2 minutes with our 3rd and 4th stringers in there. Oakland’s 1st string didn’t get a 1st down. Not bad.

Yea, that’s what I thought…..

Sat, 09 Aug 2014 22:39:17 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2273058#comment-3534347Cassell is the future of the franchise until they draft another QB in the first round. Maybe Dainty Fumblepepper will have a son who can be the next coming of Tarvaris Jackson, or Ponder or Frerotte or Johnson, or George, or Cunningham or Moon or McMahon or Gannon or Wilson or Kramer or Dils or Cuozzo or Kapp or Tarkenton?

Wow, that’s a lot to live up to!

Sat, 09 Aug 2014 22:34:51 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2273058#comment-3534343I bet Vikes fans are ecstatic that Ponder is basically out of the equation at this point. They are far better off right now than they were at this point last year just by default because Ponder is so bad.

I’ve consistently said from the start that Cassel should start Week 1 and that Bridgewater will someday be a star. Those are not mutually exclusive positions.
————–

However, “QB drafted by Rick Spielman and/or the Minnesota Vikings,” and “Star QB” ARE mutually exclusive.

Sat, 09 Aug 2014 18:07:01 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2273058#comment-3533897The first preseason game went pretty much how I anticipated it would in regards to the QB play. Cassel looked solid, not great but solid. Bridgewater has some typical rookie tendencies to work out but I liked his ability to move around in the pocket, as well as outside, he also didn’t seem to get too rattled with pressure in his face. I was most impressed by the defense. Even though the Raiders don’t have an explosive and shot themselves in the foot with penalties, the defense looks highly improved from last year. I am not saying we are instant nfc north champs but, if the Vikings keep improving on defense and can get consistent play from the QB we have a strong shot at cracking .500 even with a tough schedule.

Ponders first game (pre-season 2012) 4/9, 80 yards. Kinda seems the same, and we all know how well Ponder worked out.

The overreaction with Bridgewater is amazing. Why don’t we wait unil Week 3 to see if Bridgewater is worth starting the regular season?

The overreactions came since the day he was drafted and what we all had to hear with all the boasting and how great he would be. Now that it is being thrown back in your faces you have no one to blame but your own purple posters but yet the loudest and most ridiculous ones are in hiding, who didn’t see that one coming.

His finger extension supplements will take time to take effect, he couldn’t hold on to the ball, I feel bad for the lil fella….

If you really watched Teddy he looked settled in the pocket and stepped up nicely. His first series he looked fine but they had 4 penalties in 5 plays.

He will be jus fine. The GB rubes are worried and it shows by the posts.
